John Ward or the New ork nine mas written
lorg letter to N. E. Young. president and Sec
rotary of the League, touching a number of
abuses that have crept into the game of base
ball In speaking of the reserve law he says:
'In order to justify this extraordinary measure,
and distract public attention from the real
causes making it necessary, the clubs tried to
shift the blame or the players. They declared
that players were demanding extortionate sal
aries, and that the rule was needed as a protec-
ton against these. They attempted to conceal
entirely the real cause OF the trouble. which
lay In the extravaganza and unbusiness-
like methods of certain managers
ana 10 the lack OF good faith between the clubs
themselves The reserve rule inaugureted a
species of serfdom. which gave one set OF men
life estate in the labor of another. and withheld
from the latter any corresponding claim. No
attempt has ever been made TO defend it on the
grounds of abstract rights Its justification. il
any, lay only in it's expedency, and the continu-
ance of this should therefore be its only claim to
a present existence. Instead of an in
stitution for good. it has become one for evil:
instead of measure of protection, it has been
used as a handle for the manipulation of traffic
in players-a sort Of speculation in live stock
by which they are bought, sold and transferred
like so many sheep"
He then shows chat this reserve law is now
the law of all the baseball associations, and
that player is powerless before it, and adds
1.-THE browning outrage of all came in the shape
of a resolution adopted by the American Associa-
ton at it's Cleveland meeting last spring. Not
satisfied with the passive conspiracy not to hire
n reserved player if he refused to sign with the
reserving club, the association actually declared
its intention Of blacklisting him." Mr.. Ward
then alludes to the 'loaning of players" and
likens the system to the hiring of horse for its
keen, and adds Encouraged by the apparent
inactivity of the PLAYERS the clubs have gone
from one usurpation to another until in the
eyes of base ball 'magnates' the player has be-
come q mere chattel. He goes where he is sent.
takes what is given him and thanks the Lord
for lifen
In conclusion he says: 1.-The remedy for these
abuses may be difficult to find; the system has
become rooted that heroic treatment may be
necessary to remove it; but go 1t must like
cry other founded upon great injustice and
misuse of power. The only question is, whence
shall the remedy proceed2 Shall it como from
the clubs or from the players. from both,
conjointlya The interests of the national game
are too great to be longer trifei with in such a
manner. and if the clubs cannot find way out of
these difficulties the players will try to do it for
themn
